WPA/New Deal Art in the
Chestnut Station Post Office,
Chicago, Illinois
Originally there were two Section murals
installed in the Chestnut Station Post Office in Chicago, done by husband
and wife team, Frances Foy and Gustaf Dalstrom. After the Post Office building
was converted into the Chestnut Station Theatres, the murals were removed
and installed in two separate locations.

"Great Indian Council, Chicago - 1833" - oil
on canvas
by Gustaf Dalstrom (1938)
